Direct Sheetmetal front floorboards are made out of 16-gauge (.060 in.) cold-rolled steel and are hand-formed in DSM's shop. Like all Direct Sheetmetal parts, they are designed so the average hot rod enthusiast can install them in their own garage or workshop.

You do not have to use a new firewall when you install a new front floorboard, but all DSM floorboards have a matching firewall. This often makes for a more professional installation.

Although DSM floorboards do not normally have to be trimmed, some may because every car is different. Floors usually include six or seven pieces. If you do not get the main floor panels in the exact spot DSM did when they produced their templates, some trimming will be required. Direct Sheetmetal makes their floorboards to overlay other parts so trimming is OK. In this case, bigger is definitely better--it is harder to add material than to trim material.
